| Appeal from the Judgment of Sentence of May 19, 2008, in the Court of Common Pleas of Centre County, Criminal Division, at No. CP-14-CR-0002110-2007 | |
| Before: BOWES, DONOHUE, and FREEDBERG, JJ. | |
| Opinion by: BOWES, J. | |
| It was a dark and stormy night on June 8, 2007, when the wind howled and rain fell in State College, Pennsylvania. Corporal William Muse of the State College Police Department was in the area of East Foster Avenue at 10:38 p.m. assisting with downed power lines in an adjacent alley when he noticed the open rear door of 420 East Foster Avenue, the residence of Collin M. Rowe, Appellant. Corporal Muse walked the perimeter of the house, noticed lights on upstairs and down, but observed nothing out of the ordinary. He chose to enter the home, called out his identity, and searched the first floor and the basement. The officer thereafter proceeded to the second floor, where he entered Appellant’s bedroom, looked in the trash can, and examined the inside of the closet. He found a glass pipe sitting on the desk next to Appellant’s computer. He took the pipe, left his business card requesting Appellant to contact him, and left the home. | |
